There are five concrete classes implementing this ABC.
:class:`BufferedWriter` and :class:`BufferedReader` are for objects
- that only support writing or reading and don't support random
- access. :class:`BufferedRandom` adds the :meth:`seek` method for
- random access, and :class:`BufferedRWPair` is for objects such as
- TTYs that have both read and write operations that act upon
- unconnected streams of data. The :class:`BytesIO`
- class supports reading, writing, and seeking over an in-memory buffer.
